Mute Nasal Dilator for Snore Reduction - Anti-Snoring Aid Solution - Improve Airflow - Comfortable Nose Vents, Breathing Aids for Better Sleep - (Size Large, 3-Pk)

Update: so after using the mute nasal dilator for over almost 2 months now, I have some issues with it. You know how when you constantly rub something, it starts to form a type of callus? Well that’s happening inside my right nostril. It’s becoming so bad that now the right nostril is clogged during the day. So now I’m using two different types of dilators one for one week, the mute for the next week, then back to the other for a week, etc and so on. So nothing is perfect but I cannot use cpap any longer. It causes me less sleep and more problems than it solves. Im kind of stuck? Not sure what to do now, but just wanted to put this out there. No dilator is great at this stage. Don’t like the nasal strips because they do not stay on and don’t open my nose enough. So there’s my update!So this is an honest review. I’m not paid, I’m not getting any compensation; I’m just hoping to help someone else. I bought the trial pack for Mute and quickly figured out that the medium was for me. I wore it a while and I’ll be honest (again!) I felt like it bothered me. UNTIL I tried another brand of nasal dilator and oh my word! I wore the other brand for a week just to give it a fair shot and had blisters in my nose that scabbed over during the daytime. I went back to Mute and it was heaven compared to the other brand.Now having said that: the Mute dilator is not completely comfortable to where you don’t know it’s there BUT it does not cause bleeding or sores and weirdly enough when I went back to it? It seemed to work far better than the other brand that claimed to open passages “58% more.”So the night I went back to Mute? I slept 8 hrs 26 mins and woke up feeling great. The week prior with the other brand? I barely slept 5 without ripping the thing out and having a blocked left nasal passage for the rest of the night.So! That’s my honest review. In total I have tried 5 different nasal dilators and out of all of them? I’m sticking with the Mute medium nasal dilator. It’s a pain to put in, it’s a pain to get where your nose wants it to be, BUT it’s the only one so far that I’ve found that keeps my nasal passages open and lets me sleep without a clogged left nasal passage without pain and bleeding. I’ve had sinus surgery and it made things worse after so that’s not an option. The only thing I wish is that they made a variety of each size; such as extra small, small, larger small, small medium, medium, larger medium etc and so on. That way those clips wouldn’t be on there and it would be more comfortable. Hope this helps someone!

Follow up on my previous review. After ordering the trial pack and trying the small out which worked very well, I order 2 boxes of small. When I opened the first box the small size was NOT what I tried in the first box (which I still have and the med and large are both there). This new smaller version works for a small child. They won’t stay in your nose a night and cover about 1/2 your nostril. No problem I will return the box I have unopened and get the medium. WRONG. I cannot return this item! So now I have wasted $40plus dollars on a child size nasal dial at or that I cannot use. BEWARE. It was a bait and switch for me and a Waste of money. Amazon should let the buyer know when an unopened box of worthless product cannot be returned!I was told my very loud snoring was out of control. I put a snore app on my phone and found I was breathing out of my mouth. My nasal passages were swollen and nearly closed due to a deviated septum. So decided to give this a try. I CANNOT BELIEVE the difference in air flow!!!I bought the trial and started with the small. It was tight and rigid. My nose immediately started to bleed. After running hot water over the device to make it soft I was able to get it in my nose without feeling scratched up. I find the routine of warm water before inserting is much more comfortable. No bleeding or scratching. In the morning after I remove it I take a qtip with a bit of Vaseline on it and run it around my nostrils.My app had me Azeri snoring for 3 nights and now light snoring as the device does swish when I lay on my side. But MUCH better than I was beforeAlso I wake up so refreshed! I used to literally feel like I had a hang over and was using an oxygen can to feel more awake in the mornings.I will definitely keep using this product!

These dilators are unique from several others on the market in that they offer an adjustable diameter and are designed to achieve more dilation relative to amount of plastic as compared to more straw-like diameters. These features are what drew me to these dilators. For context, I have struggled with nasal inflammation and a deviated septum all my life. I had a septorhinoplasty with inferior turbinate reduction about two years ago. It helped, but my nasal passages are still quite narrow due to turbinate hypertrophy. I practice excellent allergy and sinus hygiene with limited results and am drawn to dilators for that reason.Pros:-These feel solid and durable overall.-The diameter adjustment feels surprisingly solid and stable, so props to the manufacturer for pulling that off.Cons:-The big one is sizing! The height and diameter *both* increase from small to large. This isn't a big deal in theory, but as someone with a long, narrow nose, it's a major dealbreaker.After having fiddled with these for about 30 minutes, it seems like I need the diameter of the small size. The medium and large are too wide to fit properly in my nostrils without turning sideways and causing more obstruction and discomfort. However, the small does not go deep enough in order to dilate where dilation is needed - between my septum and inferior turbinates. I suspect that narrowing in this area is the main reason many of us are drawn to dilators. But, again, once I go up to the medium or large to achieve appropriate depth, the diameter is, again, much too large.My advice on this point overall is that the closer you are to having a square shaped nose, the better. I doubt that the diameter and depth of one's nasal passages are closely related enough for these sizes to be appropriate for many. These dilators are best suited for those with pretty clear nasal passages whose nostrils are prone to closing more superficially rather than those who need dilation anywhere above that.-I found the ridges to be somewhat painful, but this could have been related to having a poor fit with all three sizes and fiddling with them constantly.
